Admittedly, automobiles have eased our lives to a great extent. A statistical report published in 2021 indicates that almost 90% of families own at least one vehicle. Given that this is a worthy investment, we should learn some basic differences, such as those between horsepower and torque, before making a purchase.

Now, suppose you’re wondering about their roles and which one is more important while buying a new or used car. In that case, we’ll help you understand the main roles of horsepower and torque and which is more important in a vehicle and then explain the difference between them. Read the rest of this entry >>

How a Sequential Gearbox Works

Sequential Gearboz

 

Sequential gear transmission is a type of manual transmission that allows the rider to select gears in an order or sequence. Unlike traditional manual gear transmission, it does not allow the rider to skip gears. This technique of switching gears is particular to this type of gear transmission which requires a selector shaft to shift gears up or down. Sequential transmission has become popular in motorcycles and high-performance cars that are used in motorsports.

 

Overview of the function of sequential transmission

Sequential manual transmission is advantageous because it enables the rider to select the gear directly before or after the gear that is currently engaged. In traditional transmission or H-pattern transmission, the ride has to pull back the shift lever to change to a higher gear or push it forward to move to a lower gear. In true sequential transmission, a ratchet mechanism is used to convert the shift lever’s before and after motion into a rotary motion. This motion turns a selector shaft that has three or four grooves etched around its circumference. The selector forks run through these grooves and they select the next required gear. The selector forks can function directly or using selector rods or pins.

 

These sequential gearboxes are used in most modern motorcycles because it is too inconvenient to use the conventional H-pattern shifter, which also requires a lot more space within the motorcycle’s frame. It also gives the rider complete control over the gear shifter.

What Is A Drivetrain In A Car?

The drivetrain is the cluster of electro-mechanical components in a car that provide power to the driving wheels in order for the vehicle to move forward. The drivetrain includes the transmission, driveshaft, axles and wheels. The drivetrain works in conjunction with the engine to create stability for the car, turn the wheels and provide enough power so that the vehicle can move forward.

There are four different drivetrain arrangements that you need to know about:

FWD

With Front Wheel Drive, power is mainly delivered to the driving front wheels. These wheels have two components: They steer as well as pull the car forward. The engines are generally mounted in the front and offer good traction.

RWD

In a rear wheel drive vehicle, the wheels in the rear are the driving force behind the vehicle while the ones in the front are used for steering. These cars are in turn more balanced. The engine is placed longitudinally and is connected to the drive wheels at the back through a driveshaft connected to a differential; they offer immediate torque and power.

AWD/4WD

In 4WD, power goes from the engine to a transmission and then it gets divided between a front and rear axle. These vehicles have good traction as well as power and are well suited for off-road terrains. Normally, driven in the RWD mode, power is transmitted to all the wheels, when required.

AWD is similar but gets power to all 4 wheels simultaneously at all times. The engines are very compact.

What you have to ensure under all conditions is the wheel alignments. If you feel a pull towards the left or right, be quick to tug it to your nearest mechanic and get it checked out immediately. Using proper tires for your specific drivetrain is also very important which helps to improve the longevity of the components by ensuring less wear and tear.

The Relationship Between RPM and Torque

By

gearbox

RPM and Torque are some of the most commonly used terminology in the automotive industry, though few know what the meaning of the two terms actually are and how they translate to an actual driving experience. RPM stands for revolutions per minute. The basic understanding of this is the calculation of any object revolving in a circular motion around its orbit. On the other hand, Torque is a form of measure that determines the amount of load of a vehicle at any given point of time. The torque varies in different vehicles depending on the RPM.

The RPM is a type of determining factor for any form of power in the vehicle output. The torque of every vehicle is calculated based on the RPM at any given point of time. This basically means that the Torque of a vehicle’s engine depends on the RPM, however the RPM of the vehicle’s engine is determined on the power output of the engine. The torque is considered as a primary factor for determining load bearing vehicles. Since diesel engines are generally large carrier vehicles, it is considered to be the defining factor or selling point of the manufacturer.

RPM, as a general power determining factor is commonplace to both diesel and gasoline engines. At any given point in time, every power measure and reading will always be read at the rate of the RPM of the vehicle’s engine. To learn more about RPM and torque feel free to contact us.
